[C#m]
I've seen a hand, [G#m] I've seen a vision [E]
[F#] It [E] was reaching through [F#] the [G#] clouds to [C#m] whisk
a dream [G#m] The shadow [E] crossed the sky [F#] and [E] it crushed
it [F#] to the ground [G#]
[C#m] Just like a beast
The old [F#] man's back again [A] The [G#] old [C#m] man's back again
I've seen a woman [G#m] standing [E] in the snow [F#] She was [E] silent [F#] as she [G#] watched them [C#m] take her
man [G#m] Teardrops burned her [F#] cheeks [E] for she thought
she'd [F#] heard The shadow [G#]
[C#m] had left this land
The old man's [F#] back again [A] The [G#] old [C#m] man's back again
Crowds just gathered [F#] Their [E] faces turned [F#] away
And they [E] queue all [F#] day like [G#] dragons [E] of [C#m] disgust
Older women [E] whispering, [F#] [E] wondering just what [F#] these young [G#] hotheads [C#m] want of [C] us
[E] And on drapey he cries [G#m] with [E] eyes that ring like [F#] chimes
[E] His anti [F#]-worlds go spinning [E] [C#m] through his head
He [G#m] burns them in his [E] [F#] dreams For [E] half awake [F#] they [G#] may as well [C#m] be dead
The [C#] old [F#] man's back again [A] I [C#m] [G#m] see he's [C#] back again
[C#m] I see a soldier, [E] he's standing in the rain [F#] [E] For him there's no [F#] old [G#] man
To [C#] walk [G#m] behind Devoured [E] by his pain
[F#] [E] Bewildered by [F#] the faces [G#] who [C#m] pass him [E] by
[G#m] He'd like another name
[D#m] The [E] one he's got's [F#] a curse [G#] These [C#m] people cry
[G#m] Why can't they [E] understand [D#m] His [E] mother [F#] called him Ivan
[G#] Then [C#] she [C#m] died
The old [F#] man's back again [A] The [C#m] old man's back again
I can [F#] see him back again
